After a lot of advice from this board and others I've decided that the endplay on the output flanges can be ignored for now. So..... Let's get this baby back on the road!!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)
Here is the B.F.N. tranny mated to the motor. Yep, that's it. Hook two big fat wires to this thing and it goes! No F'n' ignition, valves, carbs, oil, cams, exhaust, etc..... Attached image(s) |

Bob,
No I don't have regen. I'd love to add it but it is way more complicated than it seems at first blush. There has been lots of talk about it on the EVDL but for me it comes down to needing a more fancy controller and at 3 to 4 or even 5 kilobucks it's a bit out of the question for now. BatCap.... neato! No I wasn't aware of them. I'll have to look at them a little closer. It seems to be kinda low density though... 1 lb/Ah.... one of my batteries is about 1/4th lb/Ah. Could be used as maybe a booster or something for those big amp draws... interesting! There is someone on the EVDL that put a huge array of supercaps in his car. He has lithium batteries and they don't like to put out the big amps. No one knows the cost of it though. Some guess in the $20k range. Yes there is a Fedral credit but I don't think Kalifornia has one any more (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) I also qualify for the "HOV" sticker. High Occupancy Vehicle. Basically means I can drive in the commuter lanes solo. It also means I don't have to pay for parking meters in downtown San Jose... oh boy! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) As far as Saft goes, I haven't been able to get anything out of them. They don't want to deal with such small timers. ThunderSky on the other hand will sell to anyone. They are in China and basically will take anyone's money. Quite a few people have been buying Li-ion batteries from them. I just heard the price went up because of some new regulations. Probably from pressure from F'ing oil companies.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/boid.gif) Great questions. It seems like you know a lot about all this electric car stuff! |
